Why? Thanks! > if you do a round each week (3 on, 4 off) the advantage is that you get more chelation done sooner. if you do a round every other week (3 on, 11 off) the advantage is that your child has more recovery time, is taking chelation agents less often, and has a longer period in between (which you might want for any number of reasons). What I personally did was to do chelation every week ( " 3/4 " ) unless there was some reason to skip a week. There were many weeks when I skipped -- sometimes due to travel, or illness, for example. I don't see any reason that you would need to decide on one or the other of these ahead of time. I would suggest seeing how you feel about it as you go along. I can think of lots of things that might or might not affect the decision. Something as simple as needing more time to catch up on sleep might be an issue for some people (and not others). good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro for 3/4: chelation is faster and will be over with sooner. Cons: may make yeast worse, the child may need a longer recovery period between rounds, everyone gets too tired. What I do is something in between. So I'll do 3/4 for 3 or 4 weeks, then skip a week to regroup. You can kind of split the difference.

Why? I would choose 3/11 if the child would have high cysteine. Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 We did 3/4 for the first year and took a breather after about 8 months. But our son's RBC minerals got too low, so we decided to go 3/11 from then on.

Why? Thanks! I chose low dose of chelator and 3/4 schedule because I wanted the metals OUT. I only went to 3/11 for a round or two if my son's yeast got unmanageable, or if he was sick.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 How does one know when yeast has gotten unmanageable? Thanks to all that answered this question - even though I hadn't posted it myself, I was wondering the same thing and will be beginning chelation on my daughter next week! > > > > What are the reasons to choose a 3/4 over 3/11 or the other way > around? > > Because a child is small and NT yet toxic, would you choose 3/11? > Why?

My son would be giggly, hyper, spin himself, lose language, and have severe visual stims. And GSE/No-Fenol would not be sufficient to eliminate it.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Can we not do something in between like 3on 6off or 3 on 7off. is there a reason that we cannot chose the number of off days based on how soon the chidl regroups? -Kajuk --- Loulourgas <mloulourgas@...> wrote: > How does one know when yeast has gotten > unmanageable? > Thanks to all that answered this question - even > though I hadn't > posted it myself, I was wondering the same thing and > will be beginning > chelation on my daughter next week! > > > > > > > > > > What are the reasons to choose a 3/4 over 3/11 > or the other way > > around? > > > Because a child is small and NT yet toxic, would > you choose 3/11? > > Why?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I've heard that it's fine to do that... so long as it's 3 days on and at least the same number of days off. 3/4 or 3/11 just coincides with weekends which are more convenient for people. > > > > > > > > What are the reasons to choose a 3/4 over 3/11 > > or the other way > > > around? > > > > Because a child is small and NT yet toxic, would > > you choose 3/11? > > > Why?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Kajuk, My son's chelation schedule would look like this: 4.5 on/6 off; 5 on/9 off, 3.5 on/5.5 off, etc. In other words, we do what fits for him. He seems to do better with longer rounds and I would dearly love to get this over with so we try to do the longer rounds. I think the only rule you need to follow is to make sure you have at least as much time OFF as you do ON. Other than that, make it fit your child and you.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I agree with Anita - I should have said AT LEAST 3 days on.. > > > > > > > > > > What are the reasons to choose a 3/4 over 3/11 > > > or the other way > > > > around? > > > > > Because a child is small and NT yet toxic, would > > > you choose 3/11? > > > > Why?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Oh, yes, the other rule is at least 3 on. Good thing there's lots of us on this board. The details are many.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Kujak, Yes, you can do another combination of number of days on and off. The important thing is to do more days and nights off than days and nights on. Many just choose to do 3/4 or 3/11 so they can chelate on weekends particularly if the person chelating is in school or working a M-F work week.
